I have this with numbers (and consequently arithmetic). When I think of a number, in my mind I see its position in a never ending, wavy line of numbers that goes from left bottom to top right. This 'ribbon' of numbers kinda scales logarithmically and I can 'adjust my view' to 'look at' higher/lower numbers. Now that I think of it, I mostly use/see this ribbon when adding or subtracting numbers, not when multiplying or dividing.

Don't know if it's related but in one of my first classes as a kid (where we learned to count), we had some sort of banner on the wall that listed the number from 0 to 100. Maybe picked it up there.. Sometimes I also think this makes the more abstract math concepts harder for me to understand. If I can't visualize it, it won't stick (easily).

Asked some friends how they saw numbers, and they don't have anything like that. Wondering how this is for other people.

Personally I don't miss it. IMHO the alpine image is perfect to run single services that don't have too much dependencies. On your host system you can use systemd to spin up these services as docker instances (if you don't need scheduling).

If only ads were an opt-in kinda deal (which with a blocker they of course are). I'd be happy to give you a short list of things I might be interested in if you'd stop tracking me.

You could call it a bluetooth enabled pedometer with integrated vibration motor, but that's of course not that marketing friendly. (I'm guessing it does a bit more than the above?)

Extra golden seeing your username - I bet you are a ruby dev? :D

If you can do without the latest of the latest in Sass I highly recommend using a libsass implementation. So much faster than the Ruby version! OT: I also like that they've used a BEM-like approach, although I personally prefer a double underscore as separator between elements.

Chrome (logically) already supports features of the new JS spec that 'only now' get put into node. With automatic updates for browser being the trend currently I also think that it is now easier to keep the server and browser support for JS in sync.

Most excited about v8 4.5. Native support for arrow functions and stuff like Array.from really makes the dev experience feel so much smoother.

Unless one of the passengers knocks out the driver while bouncing around in the car..

The argument mentioned by tghw is the only reason I agree with the law on this point. Considering law's meant to protect people from themselves (and only themselves) in general I'd pick freedom over mandatory safety any day.

We run some shops at Byte and were able to quickly apply the patches back in February. This week we got an e-mail from a worried customer who got a message in the back-end (from Magento) that his site might be vulnerable: 2 month's later..

Personally I've never liked Magento much; it needs expensive hosting even for modest shops and seems to be bloated with functionality you never use. And in the end you always end up with writing a bunch of custom modules because the Magento way is never your way.
